New Zealand is home base and we know we are lucky to live in one of the worlds great adventure playgrounds. From the mountains and glaciers of the Southern Alps to the rolling hills and sandy beaches of the North island, New Zealand certainly has the scenic goods. Combine this with a gay tolerant society (Same sex marriage is legal here) a wide network of gay homestay accommodation, private holiday homes for hire (Bach) and B&Bs and you have all the ingredients to put together some great holidays. 

"Outside the Square" focuses on:-

• 1 week "Great Walks" of New Zealand
• 1-2 week custom trips, highlighting the very best of the south and north islands departing Auckland for the north and Queenstown or Christchurch for the south.
• 1 day west coast walks out of Auckland.
• 3 night 4 day Kauri coast and bay of islands mini break, perfect for Auckland stopover visitors.

Other than the "Great Walks" only a modest level of fitness is required, basically we consult with, and tailor trips to meet your vision and budget, gay homestays work for small groups of up to 4 and private houses are perfect for a couple of days home cooking in spectacular settings. The "Great Walks" are for serious hikers and (I'm sure you know who you are) staying at DOC (Department of Conservation) huts, and carrying your own food and sleeping bags for 3-4 days wilderness experience, with a suggested  pack weight of Approx 15-18kg.
